NPR reports on an essay written in a military journal that states that having gays in the militarywould have no impact on either morale or unit cohesion.
Just yet another in a long line of conservative scare tactics that is absolutely wrong. Go figure.
More truth from Reddit:
“Capital must protect itself in every possible manner by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible.
When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.
This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world. By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance.
Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished.”
This article points out the obvious: if the Russians screwed us over as bad as the Republicans have, there would be blood in the streets all day, every day.
If the Russians had come here and done this — if they had come and stolen our resources, if they come and enslaved our children into inescapable soul-numbing jobs, if they had left us with environmental degradation and a wrecked economy and destroyed education system and a crumbling infrastructure and a sieve-like healthcare regime — if the Russians had come and done any or all of this, we would’ve risen up in anger and hostility and patriotism and nationalism, and we’d have loaded up our weapons and killed every last one of them.
Hypocrisy, thy name is the GOP. Check out their plans for Iraqi health care versus their bullshit arguments against offering the same to Americans.
Apparently, to Republicans, you need to have your country ruined by Republicans to qualify for health care. Wait a minute! They ruined our country TOO!
